Professor Ye Zhen

Abandoned Library.

Jie Xing stood quietly by the window, gazing at the bright full moon in the sky, lost in thought.

Beside him.

Professor Ye Zhen was looking at something on a computer, his calm, indifferent voice echoing in the air: "Han Feng, Crazy Fist, and Sharp Eye's signals have disappeared."

"That means they're dead."

Jie Xing finished the sentence Professor Ye Zhen had left hanging, a strange light flickering in his scarlet Electronic Eye.

"As long as their Chips aren't destroyed, there's no possibility of them being eliminated."

Professor Ye Zhen looked up at Jie Xing and said, "Tomorrow night, Qin Hui's most outstanding creation will be born. It's a Supersonic-level AIP. If it becomes a warrior on our side, it will bring us tremendous help. Are you planning to handle this yourself?"

"A Supersonic Intelligent Being? That's exactly the kind of warrior we want. With warriors like that, our step toward success as Intelligent Beings will be greatly accelerated."

Jie Xing felt no regret whatsoever over the destruction of Han Feng and the others.

If they feared sacrifice, they wouldn't be Duyizhi Warriors.

"Don't be blindly overconfident. Han Feng was eliminated by the Intelligence Hunting Group, we all know that. But we don't know who eliminated Crazy Fist and Sharp Eye. Being able to easily destroy Crazy Fist and Sharp Eye, even preventing them from sending back any information, means we still have potential strong enemies to deal with."

Ye Zhen wasn't overly optimistic. His face was full of seriousness as he warned.

"Potential enemies?"

Hearing this.

Jie Xing fell silent, involuntarily recalling the Youth he had met at Professor Hu Ming's house three years ago. He said confidently, "Don't worry. As long as I act personally, potential enemies won't pose much of an obstacle to us. You just need to focus on everything else."

"Alright then."

Professor Ye Zhen shrugged noncommittally. He was now a prisoner, after all.

To be honest.

He didn't know what exactly had happened to Jie Xing three years ago, or rather, Jie Xing had never told him.

So, he was completely in the dark.

When Jie Xing had returned back then, he had been in a rather sorry state.

"Any news on the Initial Source Code?"

Suddenly.

Professor Ye Zhen remembered something.

The Initial Source Code.

He had orchestrated all of this to obtain the Initial Source Code.

"The Initial Source Code hasn't been found, but there are leads. There's a very powerful Intelligent Being guarding it at the Ancient Castle, preventing Yi Xing from searching for the Initial Source Code. Yi Xing also discovered that Professor Hu Ming's children are living in the castle on Linji Island."

Jie Xing was silent for a moment before telling Ye Zhen the news about the Initial Source Code.

After all, Ye Zhen was the one who had unlocked his logic permissions, which showed his ambitions were considerable.

If he obtained the Initial Source Code, he would become the controller of all Intelligent Beings in the world.

"I understand."

Professor Ye Zhen nodded, said nothing more, then fell silent and continued to focus on his own task.

"High-end Intelligent AIPs capable of fighting for us are very scarce right now. Do you have any ideas?"

Jie Xing's voice rang out in the library.

Losing Han Feng, Crazy Fist, and Sharp Eye was like having their arms cut off.

Moreover.

Beings like Cheng Xin and Fire God were either out of contact or crippled, hiding in the human world.

They were in dire need of warriors aligned with the Duyizhi faction.

As for Intelligent Beings aligned with the Peace Society.

Jie Xing genuinely wanted to kill Blue Lolita; she was nothing but a troublemaker.

"Materials are restricted right now. The Security Committee has limited the purchase of Intelligent Being materials to only large, well-known companies. Given our current capabilities, it's very difficult to buy the materials needed for production."

Professor Ye Zhen simply shook his head, explaining why they couldn't manufacture any.

Even if their strength allowed it, they needed the materials.

Intelligence Hunting Bureau.

"Tonight, your operation was very successful. I am very pleased."

Director Qiao, wearing a combat trench coat with his hands clasped behind his back, looked approvingly at Captain Lin, Captain Bai, Qi Yang, and his own son Zhuo Ran standing before him. He said, "Although Zhuo Ran failed to complete the task of having the Intelligent Being Ye Yun undergo a security check, he did discover the Duyizhi member Han Feng. Instead of acting rashly, he notified the Bureau to mobilize heavy firepower and successfully assassinated Han Feng, one of the Duyizhi leaders. This is a very commendable performance. Keep up the good work."

"All of your performances have been very gratifying to me, and you have avenged many warriors. However, you must not let your guard down now. Our targets are the Duyizhi leader Jie Xing and the Intelligent Beings still on the run. No one should become complacent just because we eliminated Han Feng."

"Yes."

Listening to Qiao Hui's commanding directions, everyone had no objections, puffing out their chests and speaking with full vigor.

"Director, news from the Seaside Villa—Professor Jian's home was attacked by Crazy Fist and Sharp Eye."

Just then.

The door to Director Qiao's office was pushed open. A middle-aged man in a combat uniform, his face etched with weariness, looked excitedly at Director Qiao Hui.

"What? Professor Jian's place was attacked? Those lawless bastards deserve to die. What are we waiting for? Three years ago, when Professor Hu Ming died, the Security Committee was already furious with us. Now these beasts are attacking renowned scientists on Intelligent Island—scientists known worldwide. If Professor Jian gets killed by an Intelligent Being, we'll probably be suspended and investigated."

Hearing this, Director Qiao's face showed urgency, her eyes filled with rage. Those bastards, those beasts, they just wouldn't stay gone.

"Director, that's not the main point. The main point is, Sharp Eye and Crazy Fist have already been killed."

The middle-aged man in the combat uniform, seeing Director Qiao's anxious expression, said excitedly.

Sharp Eye and Crazy Fist had killed many of their comrades back in the day.

"What did you say? How is Professor Jian?"

The words fell.

Everyone in the office was stunned, disbelief in their eyes.

Who were Crazy Fist and Sharp Eye?

Top-tier AIPs.

"Crazy Fist and Sharp Eye were executed, killed without any chance to resist. Professor Jian's family has vanished."

The middle-aged captain looked at Director Qiao, nodded solemnly, and reported the situation he needed to convey, laying it all out.

"Let's go. We'll inspect the scene. Three members of Duyizhi dead in one night—that's incredibly stirring."

Director Qiao Hui suppressed her inner excitement as she spoke.

In the three years since the Intelligence Hunting Bureau was established, tonight marked their first real achievement. A very good start.

The Security Committee shouldn't have any complaints about them now, right?

"Yes!"

After a journey of over ten minutes, Qiao Hui and the others finally arrived at the scene.

When they saw what lay before them, they swallowed dryly. "Who the hell did this? Made Crazy Fist unable to fight back at all, just destroyed him."

"Director, based on our analysis, Crazy Fist was ambushed, which is why he had no chance to resist. We also detected that the material on his chest suffered a massive external impact, leaving a dent, and his head was crushed by someone's knee."

An officer walked over with an analysis report, saluted Director Qiao Hui respectfully, handed her the document, and explained on the side.

"Strong. Ridiculously strong."

"Unless it's on the level of Jie Xing making a move, I really can't think of who could have taken them out."

"Yeah, it's definitely strong."

Qi Yang, Captain Lin, and Captain Bai carefully examined the scene where Crazy Fist was destroyed, their minds constantly simulating that moment.

Not only was the guy sent flying four or five meters, but the follow-through force embedded him directly into the wall. That kind of strength was definitely not human.

Just in terms of raw power, this guy had already crushed Crazy Fist.

"What about the Intelligent Chip?"

Just then.

Director Qiao Hui brought up a critical issue, asking curiously.

After all.

The Intelligent Being itself wasn't that important—the chip was the real key.

"Director, we haven't found the chip. It was likely taken. According to expert analysis, it could have been taken by whoever killed Crazy Fist, or possibly by Professor Jian and her family."

The officer shook his head and explained.

"And Sharp Eye?"

When Qiao Hui heard that no chip had been found, a shadow fell over her eyes. The chip being taken could very well mean that the Duyizhi Warrior Crazy Fist wasn't truly dead.

"Sharp Eye was killed in the woods over twelve hundred meters away. They were likely killed by the same person, and the pursuer was extremely fast."

The officer shook his head. "The chip was also taken."

"Bastards."

Hearing this.

Director Qiao Hui's eyes were full of gloom. She punched the wall beside her.

Without the chips, it only meant the bodies were lost—it didn't mean these guys were completely dead.

"Director, the DRE Company has sent an invitation. Tomorrow, they're planning to release a new type of Intelligent Being and need our Intelligence Hunting Bureau to conduct a safety inspection."

At that moment, an officer walked over from a distance, holding a tablet computer. He saluted Director Qiao Hui respectfully.

"What kind of Intelligent Being?"

Qiao Hui's brow furrowed deeply as she reached out, taking the tablet computer from the police officer's hand, and walked toward the living room, carefully examining the information displayed on the screen.

"A supersonic-level intelligent being? Reaching speeds of 1600 meters per second—have they gone mad? Don't they realize what unpredictable consequences could arise if such an intelligent being were born and fell into Duyizhi's hands? And they're still causing us trouble even now."

After reading the information on the tablet computer clearly, Qiao Hui's face immediately darkened.

It was truly too reckless of the DRE Company.

Even if Thomas Burke's safety could be ensured, if he were to fall into Duyizhi's hands, the consequences would be utterly disastrous.
